San Diego's offense is pathetic to begin with and both pitchers tonight in Atlanta have the ability to shut each team down. That spells Under when the Braves host the Padres.
The San Diego Padres are batting under .200 during the past three weeks. They have scored less than three runs in eight of their last 18 games.
Atlanta starter Jair Jurrjens has a 2.25 ERA during his past three starts. Foes are hitting just .101 against him during this time span. The Padres have yet to see him.
But Padres starter Chris Young can keep San Diego in this game. Young has yielded two runs or less in all but one of his six starts this year. He has yielded just three earned runs during his last two starts, spanning 13 innings against the Giants and Phillies. He's allowed just seven hits during this time while fanning 16.
The total is too high considering the quality of these two starters and the Padres' pathetic offense.
Free Pick: Padres-Braves Under 9 (-115)
